Torrey Pines State Preserve

Torrey Pines State Preserve offers even more than the trees it’s named after. These 2000 acres left to nature house salt marshes, waterfowl refuges, cliffs, beaches, and a lagoon that’s a vital area for seabirds. The The State Preserve of Torrey Pines is located at the northwest end of San Diego, within the city limits, and includes a visitor center to help you learn everything they have to offer.

The Torrey Pines State Beach stretches nearly four miles, from Del Mar to the sandstone cliffs of Torrey Pines Mesa. The 300 foot cliffs are perfect for paragliding, remote control gliding, and even hang gliding. At the base of the cliffs is Blacks Beach. But beware: at the north end of Blacks Beach, clothing is optional. To be on the safe side, always read the signs and follow the rules of the beach.

When you visit San Diego, don’t forget to visit this natural treasure. It’s a welcome break from city touring, and a wonderful memory for you and your loved ones.
